"I don't need racing for the rest of my life," said Rea when 𓃲speaking to . "Financially I am well secured, I have a nice life outside of racing.
"I enjoy my time on the bike and I like the competition. It will also depend on Kawasaki's 👍ideas.
"After that I can think about retiring🐎. I'm going to talk to Kawasaki about whether there's a job for me at the company after racing.
"As a test rider, as an ambassador, in team management, whatever. If I had to sit on the sofa with my wife al💖l day every day, we would soon be divorced.
"I have to have something for me too. I'll probably need a year after my retirꦐement to think about my future. Maybe we will go to Australia."
Rea finished third in the 2022 WorldS🅷BK standings after recording his lowest single-season win total (6) since joining Kawasaki in 2015.
With that said, Rea was impressive at many rounds as he dem💎onstrated incredible speed to secure the most pole positions (5) of 2022.
